Always remember: HE CAN BE MADE TO. Do not EVER think you don't have the power, bc YOU DO. CALL your Reps and tell them they EITHER DEMAND a vote OR they are history (and I mean especially GOP Reps.) https://t.co/k8El52l2YB

Court Doc: Donald Trump built Trump Tower with S & A Concrete Inc. Was a company owned by Anthony Salerno & Paul Castellano, heads of the Genovese & Gambino mafias. This is the same crime family James Comey prosecuted & the same mobsters Comey just compared Trump to. #TrumpResignpic.twitter.com/FR8d8jMGxt

1/ The letter linked above was sent by Trump’s lawyers to the judge overseeing Cohen’s challenge to the prosecution’s seizure of documents from Cohen’s office, home, and hotel room pursuant to search warrants signed by a federal judge.

“Of course Trump is raging and furious and terrified. Prosecutors are now looking at his core. Cohen was the key intermediary between the Trump family and its partners around the world; he was chief consigliere and dealmaker throughout its period of expansion into global partnerships with sketchy oligarchs. He wasn’t a slick politico who showed up for a few months. He knows everything, he recorded much of it, and now prosecutors will know it, too. It seems inevitable that much will be made public. We don’t know when. We don’t know the precise path the next few months will take. There will be resistance and denial and counterattacks. But it seems likely that, when we look back on this week, we will see it as a turning point. We are now in the end stages of the Trump Presidency.”

No doubt about it …. the only question is – ‘Will Trump be prevented from nuking humanity before he’s arrested?” ….

To be clear: Kneecapping Hillary Clinton at the last moment and preventing her from making history is an unforgivable sin, IMHO, and in the opinions of tens of millions of others. But if James Comey can help bring down Donald Trump, I am all for it. #ComeyInterviewpic.twitter.com/txwlOSN5DH

In late 2015, A.M.I., paid a man for exclusive rights to information he had been told: that Trump may have fathered a child with a woman in the late 1980s. David Pecker then ordered the reporters to stop investigating the story, sources said. https://t.co/8qtHP3aPjUpic.twitter.com/QAFDR7MFGY

"The same people who would criticize me for filing this bill would be absolutely angry if I wasn’t pounding the table for this bill if we were dealing w Hillary Clinton. So spare me your righteous indignation.” – GOP Sen Tillis on Mueller protection billhttps://t.co/yhZnzSezUE

Trying to paint PBO as creating a lawless nation. These hypocritical POS-es.

They only hated that minorities dared to stand up to, much less bring up, police brutality. Under their platform, these scumbags knew anyone they put up there would do their best to reverse that ability.

I watched the Comey interview in its entirety last night and what struck me was how indecisive and non-confrontational Comey appeared to be. I’m sure he’s not indecisive or non-confrontational because you can’t be that way and have taken down mobsters in New York as he’s done as a U.S. prosecutor. But it seemed that in meetings with Trump, Trump dominated those meetings according to Comey. But at the end of the day I believe every word Comey says.

Despite some of the best evidence we've ever had showing that neither trickle-down tax cuts nor work requirements will work, conservatives continue to solve the problem that the poor have too much and the rich have too little. https://t.co/aDZX3S8hWUpic.twitter.com/mMwTmx0vdt

A key project of @DataProgress will be using MRP to put reliable estimates of public opinion in the hands of advocates. Let me walk through why we think this is such an important project. https://t.co/O6FoYjOhUS

I did not watch Comey’s interview and I’m not going to read his book. But my main question, one which I wish someone would actually ask him, is why now? Why is he publishing and speaking out now at this particular moment in the middle of all these investigations and before midterm elections? I wonder about his intended purpose because it can cut both ways.

GM, TOD ohana.
Started my morning off with replaying the PBS showing of Celebration of American Creativity, one of the last In Performance series of the Obama White House. What a joy to relive our musical history and to see the Arts in its rightful place, celebrated with appreciation and support. The Arts and the Sciences are still alive and fighting fiercely or its existence in the face of the ignorant, base Philistines that are currently in ascendency. All attempts to stifle them have never succeeded because creativity is in the very DNA of humanity, especially in Americans. We will rise again and soon.
Having crazy weather in my part of Florida; it is currently 50 degrees, a bit windy, but the sun is shining, so it is all good. This is the first traditional Spring that we have had in my area in over 50 years and I am actually enjoying it.
Have a great day everyone; remember that no matter how dark these days appear, we are a blessed people and our fates or mostly in our own hands. Meditating on the blessings of my and my family’s lives this morning brought me to tears of gratitude and watching that performance reminded me how intricately woven the A-A people are in the story/culture of this country. We would be a different people altogether if we were not seasoned with the contributions of A-A from the inception of this country. Through it all, we are still here, surviving, thriving, and contributing in ways big and small.

As I read Mr. Trump's filing last night whereby he attempts to avoid having his own Justice Dept. review the documents seized in the raid, I could not help but draw parallels to the "Stennis Compromise" (below). And we all know how that ended…#bastahttps://t.co/vxJnHcy0Xv

Another white collar lawyer has turned down the opportunity to represent President Donald Trump, citing an unidentified conflict, as the President struggles to add to the legal team representing him in the special counsel investigation.

People close to Trump contacted New York attorney Steven Molo, a former prosecutor who specializes in white collar defense and court room litigation, in recent weeks following the departure of attorney John Dowd from Trump’s personal legal team.
Molo is only the latest attorney to receive an invitation to help Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 campaign and any possible dealings with Russia. Other lawyers who declined to join Trump’s team include former US Solicitor General Ted Olson; Emmet Flood, who’s worked for multiple presidents; Robert Bennett, Bill Clinton’s attorney in the Paula Jones litigation; and Bob Giuffra, of Sullivan & Cromwell.

“Better Call Saul” was a pretty good spin off from breaking bad. Yep, Dolt/Dotard 45 is in need of a criminal lawyer. Just think if America just murdered all drug dealers and mafia types there would be No really good criminal lawyers to contact…..

Good. I read that people white commented that they too had not purchased anything, was allowed to use the bathroom without purchasing anything, and was never told or asked to buy something for the privileged of sitting there. It was also said the men were NEVER told to buy something or leave. I think they would have either bought something or waited outside. What was so sad they two guys were chatting and laughing with the police right before the white guy they were waiting for showed up. It was at that time, the police put them in handcuffs and took them to jail. Why wouldn’t the manager just say, listen officer all I want is for you to escort them outside. I do not want them arrested. She allowed them to be arrested and spend a night in jail for NO REASON. F her I hope she can’t find a job and has to explain to a future employer what she did to get fired from the last job.

Contrast this with the actions of young people all over the world who have been inspired by PBO. Words matter. They liberate and enslave; create and destroy; give life and death. PBO knew the awesome power of words and used them thoughtfully and carefully and made sure that his staff did as well. The msm ignorantly complained about his long, reasoned and well-thought out responses, but look at what they have to deal with now. They helped to bring about the mess we now have in the WH and I have no pity for them.

Hello TODbots on a Manic Monday Aftern ❤ ❤ n. It was a record falling snow in April in MN, ever. It stared snowing later Friday the 13th in my neck of the woods. It finally stopped before dawn this AM.
Congrats, Doc Bob on your Au ⭐ Furst.
Thank you, NW.
Hey, Amk, Yardarm, LP, LL, Jovie, etc check in once in a blue moon 😉
❤ TODville Community.

I started scream/laughing when I found out about this. All of these mofos are drinking from the same fetid well and all of their shit is literally coming out. WooHoo! Let truth continue to come forth and may Karma continue her righteous war.

This actually makes me sad enough to cry. She should be in her natural habitat, surrounded by a gorilla family group giving birth far from human eyes and intervention. No one, person or animal, should give birth or raise a family I any form of captivity. No matter how we try to dress it up, zoos, animal parks, etc. are cruel and unnatural. The best thing that we can do for other animals is to leave them alone and to stop destroying their habitats.

Very few people did not smile, laugh or feel uncomfortable around PBO. Most everyone who met both of them said the Obama’s put them at ease, they were able to relax and be themselves around the couple. That says a lot about a leader as well as a human being.

Of all the lawyers that Hannity could have retained he chose Michael Cohen, it makes perfect sense. After all, Hannity wasn’t looking for legal help, he was looking for a fixer. And to fix what, only Hannity and Cohen and the person that may or may not have received a duffle bag full of money knows.

#FoxNews must IMMEDIATELY fire or suspend Sean Hannity and retract all of his outrageous allegations against Robert Mueller and the #TrumpRussia investigation until the full extent of Hannity's criminal exposure is understood. #FireSeanHannity

Just in case you were wondering: If Donald Trump used Michael Cohen to instruct Sean Hannity how to help him obstruct justice via Fox News, that would not fall under Attorney/Client privilege, meaning @seanhannity could be on big trouble!

1/ This court case is a very unusual action brought by Michael Cohen. He asked for two things—a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. It is highly unusual for someone to seek either of those things to stop to prosecution from reviewing seized evidence.

“I don’t know where he lives, I’ve never seen him before. In fact, he was just passing by the studio, so I was told, and somehow waved at me.”

Sean Hannity responds: “Let me be very clear to the media. Michael never represented me in any matter. I never retained him in the traditional sense. … I never received an invoice from Michael. I never paid legal fees to Michael.” https://t.co/I1GDeDKN1G

Oh, boy! It was too early to think that there would be no more scandals.

🔥NEW TRUMP SCANDAL: According to the Wall Street Journal, Michael Cohen killed a story about Donald Trump Jr's alleged affair with "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Aubrey O’Day. Trump Jr. announced in March that he was separating from his wife, Vanessa.https://t.co/UbbBlUU8iQ

Pause for a moment and reflect upon what this Congressional GOP would have already done if Obama or Hillary had done ANY of the insanity Trump & his admin, et al are doing, or if Ryan & McConnell & Nunes etc, were Dems.
